Special Dispatch to the Appeal
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-There is q feel
ing among congressman that the legisa
lures should enact laws which will punish
such conspirators and -makersas those
who swung at Chicago on Friday, and
finally eradicate every vestige OF anarchy
there is in the country The question OF
law for these characters, they say, remains
in the power Of the Legislatures, and there
is nothing for Congress TO do.
Everybody here appears TO be pleased
with the way the law was enforced ut Chi
cago, and the greatest credit is given the
representatives OF law and order there.
Those who at first believed that hanging
was too severe, are now pretty generally
satisfied that the Governor did the best,
and that IL was absolutely necessary 90
treat the disease OF the anarchists with the
most radical remedy; that No patience
could be exercised in dealing with such
serious disease, and especially one which
was imported, and which threatened tn
gtt i"oulolu WHICH Coulu lol ~ hls-
lodged.
NATIONAL BANKS.
National bankers can rest assured that
something will be done by Congress ut
the approaching session 20 give them re-
lief in the way Of a security for circulation.
The alarming decrease OF the capital stock
Of national banks, and the consequent
scarcity Of money, has had the effect %.
crystalizing sentiment in favor OF an
tissue OF bonds to run from fifty 90 100
ycars TO bear about y per cent. interest,
and to serve the purpose Of bankers.
Those who have studied the proposition
say il will carry.
An energetic effort win bc made this
winter TO pass bankrupt law, but there Is
no prospect of lis success, unless there j. q
more positive expression from the people
OF the west Representative Collins, OF
Boston made an ciiur, during the last Con
grcss to have bankrupt bill passed, but
there was strong opposition from the west
and south. These two sections, with the
exception oi Chicago and few merchants
and bankers ut Louisville, have been all
along and are vet considered ~ almost
solidly opposed to u bankrupt law. The
present prosperous condition ui the com
nep'nst a law oi this kind. Int ii the we-t
AMI south should speak IN It's favor il
would be- enacted, NJ the Gust is favorable
to il.
DAKOTA.
The very nmisiakablc vote given last
week ior division on M east AMI west
line and the admission to statehood ul the
southern hall Ol Dakota will do more a.
hasten these ends than oil else tie people
ui that Territory have ever done once %,
twice before there have been elections, and
q majority hls been given these PROPOSE
jious bat thc elections wcra not conducted
under the directions OF law, nor were the
returns full from ail the counties, 80 there
was an excuse iOr not needing the statistics
aud petitions sent 10 Congress. The
election last week was bv the authority ol
the Legislature, or council, and the returns
will not only be- complete When thcy come
90 Congress, hut they will hc regular,
bearing the certificate ui the territorial NJ
Ulcers. who arc Democratic and they will
show q very large majority In favor OF III
vision aud statehood. The population T.
far beyond that required 10y the cousiitU-
ton or precedent, and The argument seems
conclusive in favor Of Dakota.
